UK Video Game Chart: GRID 2 races to No.1

But sales can't match those of its predecessor as Fuse debuts at 37.

GRID 2 earns Codemasters its first UK No.1 since F1 2010 back in September 2010, going one better than the original GRID which launched five years ago.

However, actual sales paint a different picture, with GRID 2's week one total coming in 29 per cent down on the original GRID's first week sales.

FIFA 13 holds on at No.2 with half-term activity giving the title a 17 per cent boost week-on-week. Dead Island: Riptide moves up one place to No.3, followed by Far Cry 3, and Resident Evil: Revelations which drops from No.1 to No.5. Metro: Last Light slides four places to No.7.

The week's major loser is EA and Insomniac's Fuse which makes its debut just inside the Top 40 at No.37.
